We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Saint Amant in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Saint Amant, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
